The stories have been translated into more than 170 languages, and the birth of film added another dimension of appreciation, imagination and creativity to this intellectual property. The exhibition gathers cinematic renditions of Alice's adventures from different times, as early as a 10-minute silent movie produced in 1903, five years after Carroll's death.

The exhibition also celebrates the expansive inspiration of Alice, interpreted as a symbol of seeking change and expressing doubts, for those working in the different sections of art. Examples on show include a collection of surrealistic illustrations by Salvador Dali, and the works by Yayoi Kusama, who presents Alice as an icon of courage.
